Now mom is sick!

After Craig and Gabe caught and got over colds, I thought the bug might bypass me. I should have known. Viruses are persistent little suckers.

Last Friday, my throat started feeling funny. By Monday, I felt horrible! Stuffy nose, cough, head aching. After getting up and preparing breakfast for Gabe and myself I was wasted. Just dealing with the fatigue was a challenge because while trying to take it easy, I had to keep up with a newly crawling 10 month old. Which means, haha, I pretty much did not take it easy.

However, the clouds are lifting. Today, I am still stuffy, but only slightly. I still have a little cough, but the last of the cold is easing its way out of my lungs. And I would say 95 percent of my energy is back.

Fortunately, Gabe never got too sick. The extent of his symptoms were a runny nose, a cough and one day of changed behavior. I worried about him getting sick again since I, the person he spends the most time with daily, is hacking all over the place. But antibodies from my cold gets into the milk so if he gets sick again at all, it will mostly likely be mild. Then I remembered that by the time cold symptoms appear, you've already passed them on. And Gabe did seem like his runny nose increased again just a day or two before I got sick. So, hopefully the worst is over.
